The algorithms of your habits are well worn grooves so it is important to diversify. Stretching yourself more and more to do the opposite of what is easy and natural for you. Eddi shares that she has transitioned to swimming after a knee injury that has cut into her pickleball schedule. She rides her edge with water things since she almost drowned when she was young. Don’t let your body stop you and find something that works in your life for some movement. Set up new algorithms! It may surprise everyone to know that change is not about discipline but more about motivation and what motivates you.

Where Peace Resides: Finding Calm Here Now. With so much going on in the world right now, it can seem harder and harder to find peace and calm. There is truly always chaos going on somewhere in the world. Do you focus on what’s wrong in the world? How much time do you spend on things out of your control. Where your attention goes, energy flows. So where is your attention? How much time do you spend on the news each day? The only reality that exists is here, now. But what does that really mean and how can you find the peace in your present moment? Exercise, going to the ocean, gardening, spending time with friends and family, yoga, meditation. These are all opportunities to be fully present and finding the joy in even the simplest things.

Poem:"Keeping Quiet" by Pablo Neruda: 
Keeping Quiet
Now we will count to twelve and we will all keep still.
For once on the face of the earth let’s not speak in any language,
let’s stop for one second, and not move our arms so much.

It would be an exotic moment without rush, without engines,
we would all be together in a sudden strangeness.
Fishermen in the cold sea would not harm whales

and the man gathering salt would look at his hurt hands.
Those who prepare green wars, wars with gas, wars with fire,
victory with no survivors, would put on clean clothes

and walk about with their brothers n the shade, doing nothing
What I want should not be confused with total inactivity.
Life is what it is about; I want no truck with death.

If we were not so single-minded about keeping our lives moving,
and for once could do nothing, perhaps a huge silence 
might interrupt this sadness of never understanding ourselves

and of threatening ourselves with death. Perhaps the earth can teach us 
as when everything seems dead and later proves to be alive. 
Now I’ll count up to twelve and you keep quiet and I will go. 

This poem reflects on the power of silence and stillness, encouraging introspection and a deeper understanding of ourselves and the world around us.

We tend to feel invisible and even irrelevant as we age. But there are many ways we can find relevance from within. We can help ourselves stay relevant by learning new things and being open to change and growth. And then sometimes you need to lean into the fact that youngsters may not want your input and respect that and not take it personal. We dive into the importance of sharing our fears with others and how empowering and healing that can be. Eddi says that she has stretched out of her comfort zone by sharing her life on this podcast on a personal level and she is actually enjoying it.

• Many people feel invisible and irrelevant as they age.
• Finding relevance from within is essential for personal growth.
• Embrace learning new things to stay engaged and relevant.
• Be open to change and growth in every stage of life.
• Recognize that younger generations may not always seek your input; respect their boundaries.

The importance of healing family wounds, embracing our elders and really learning more about our history in order to move forward in our own lives. Our history is not our destiny, but it does inform us and can guide us. Healing and compassion can happen by trying to understand where our family came from and what their life circumstances were.

Eddi and Corrine share the differences in their own family tapestries. Having compassion for our parents can be healing to our family wounds. Where does our love for certain things come from? When we look at our past, we can unravel ourselves more clearly. Even our family rituals have information for us.

As a yoga and meditation teacher, the breath has been very important for Corrine.  For Eddi breath has been instrumental in a different way as she has had sinus issues for much of her life. Let’s talk about the breath!

Using a timer to take a mindful breath. This calms you and helps you to be more present.

Try the 4-7-8 breath to help anxiety, Alternate nostril breathing to help calm the mind. Ujjayi breathing to strengthen the lungs. Plus the science behind the exhale and when it is longer then the inhale, it activates the parasympathetic nervous system.

Learn to connect with the sacredness of the breath. When you talk fast and you are worked up, your breath is quick so when you slow your breath, it affects your mind too.

Eddi shares the physiological importance of oxygen. Your mitochondria which is the spark plug in your body, your energy, you need oxygen. The brain and the heart thrive on oxygen. They all need it for transportation at the cellular level.

What is with our never ending quest for the ultimate answers. The ultimate answer to our happiness, the ultimate answer to our health?  “Our innate curiosity stems from the desire for knowledge, understanding and truth.”  But in these modern times, that search for the solution has turned into the search for the ultimate. The ultimate partner, the ultimate amount of money. We have a deep chat today about finding the answers within and the importance of discernment. Corrine shares that the one ultimate solution for her is meditation and Eddi goes into detail about her intense day and how she re-centered herself.

A very special person to both Corrine and Eddi, Alaya Dickinson is a spiritual teacher. Alaya’s invitation is to meet what is here so deeply that separation cannot be maintained. When separation falls away, what remains is our true nature: open, loving, and free. But first we are invited to meet what is here, whatever it is.

Alaya explains that the way she experiences life is very similar to the aliveness we feel as children. As we get older, we start gathering things. Not as a choice, but we start getting layers of beliefs and social conditioning starts to permeate our innocence. As the years go by, it is a burden that is put upon us. There are some important things that we need to know as humans but many, things that are not so important.
